Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Solar wind
  • Optics

Toshifumi Mukai mainly focuses on Plasma sheet, Geophysics, Solar wind, Atomic physics and Computational physics. While the research belongs to areas of Plasma sheet, he spends his time largely on the problem of Field line, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Substorm and Polar. His Geophysics research includes elements of Magnetopause, Magnetosphere, Magnetic reconnection and Astrophysics.

As a part of the same scientific study, Toshifumi Mukai usually deals with the Solar wind, concentrating on Kaguya and frequently concerns with Exosphere and Lunar orbit. His Atomic physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plasma parameters, Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, Charged particle and Pitch angle. His work deals with themes such as Geosynchronous orbit, Intensity and Flow, which intersect with Computational physics.

His most cited work include:

  • Fast Plasma Investigation for Magnetospheric Multiscale (569 citations)
  • Itokawa Dust Particles: A Direct Link Between S-Type Asteroids and Ordinary Chondrites (359 citations)
  • Solar wind control of density and temperature in the near‐Earth plasma sheet: WIND/GEOTAIL collaboration (251 citations)

His scientific interests lie mostly in Astrobiology, Asteroid, Mineralogy, Environmental science and Regolith. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spacecraft and Archaeology in addition to Astrobiology. He has included themes like Magnetopause and Geophysics in his Earth study.

The concepts of his Magnetopause study are interwoven with issues in Interplanetary magnetic field and Ionosphere. His Geophysics study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Magnetic reconnection. His study focuses on the intersection of Electron spectrometer and fields such as Atomic physics with connections in the field of Computational physics.

Between 2010 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Fast Plasma Investigation for Magnetospheric Multiscale (569 citations)
  • Itokawa Dust Particles: A Direct Link Between S-Type Asteroids and Ordinary Chondrites (359 citations)
  • Three-dimensional structure of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail from Geotail observations (59 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Photon

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geophysics, Magnetic reconnection, Atomic physics, Magnetopause and Astrobiology. His Geophysics research integrates issues from Interplanetary magnetic field, Solar wind and Plasma sheet.
